Hi all!!
I'm new here and did my best to search for my answer but couldn't find what I was looking for...
Anyway
We signed our land contract on 6/06/09 with initial deposit. Further deposit on 11/07/09 with title expected on 19/08/09. Titles were then not released until 1/10/09 with settlement being 13/10/09.
We signed our house contract on 22/07/09 for start asap.
Well they eventually started in Jan and just requested base (slab) payment on 10/03/10
We applied for the full 32k FHOG as we signed before September 09 and we have an approval letter from SRO. Our bank/financial guy organized it all but it is to be paid to us once available.
I thought everything was fine.... then I started reading other people posts... I did not know that they needed to start building within 6 months.... It was noone's fault really.... First land settlement delays, then the estate did not approve the design (we needed to write render on the drawing - 4 week delay) then the building permit didn't get approved for ages because the main road at the front of the estate was being widened (or some excuse) then of course Christmas!!!
Do I need to apply for an extension to SRO? Is it all fine? Is it too late to fix? Is it different because we did it through the bank?
Thanks,
